Hi,

I use rosetta 14 hours a day (between 23:00 and 13:00). After the pause, rosetta doesn't use the cpu, although the boinc client is up, running and loggin. Here is the log:

If I restart the boinc client, eveything is again normal: boinc uses the cpu (about 90%). Anyone else with this problem?

Thanks

From your message, it implies that you'd rather crunch 24/7, so what you have to do is go to your account and go to you General Preferances, and change
"Do work only between the hours of" so that the start time and end time are equal. You will then be up and crunching full time.

Good luck!

If I understand your question, you're saying that when 23:00 comes and it's supposed to start working again, it doesn't...

I see you're running 5.2.4 Linux, and removing from memory. I would first try leaving the app in memory (if you can) and see if that solves it. Next, being Linux, I'd probably write a script to kill BOINC entirely at 13:30, and just restart the whole thing at 23:00 - that's a "workaround" that you could use until the bug is found/fixed.

Keep us informed if "leave in memory" fixes it; if it does, this should be reported on the BOINC board as a bug. (Doesn't sound like a Rosetta issue. I'd be curious if you saw the same thing with another project.) If it doesn't, it could be any number of things, someone more Linux-literate than I will have to step in to help.

Leaving it in memory fixed the problem! :))))))

Where's the BOINC bug tracker?


(Big Thanks!)

Where's the BOINC bug tracker?

In general, BOINC Manager problems are handled at BOINC boards - but in this case, there's no need to post there as bug #408 has been entered for this on the developer's bug database, and this Rosetta thread address given as the source. The text is:

When prefs set to "do work between" two times, work will stop correctly, but when it's time to restart, gives "Resuming computation and network activity" and "equest_reschedule_cpus: Resuming activities" messages, but no project begins running. Restarting Manager starts work. "Leave in memory" solves problem.
